WILL MEDAL AND FAN!!Read these lines: The leaves were a-flutterin' like the ruffled feathers of a bird. What is this an example of? A. flattering language B. formal language C. literal language D. figurative language

OpenStudy (photon336):

HINT: the sentence is comparing two things using "like"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

D

OpenStudy (photon336):

well, i would say more figurative language. I think what's being used here is a similie. if you notice the feathers are being compared to the leaves. a simile compares two things using like or as. therefore it would be D

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

THIS IS because they are using like or as and all the other answers dont make sence
